CHAIRMAN D. R. COKER'S LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 

January 9, 1919. 
To the Governor. 

Dear Sir: Pursuant to the Act creating the South Carolina 
Council of Defense, I herewith transmit to you this annual re- 
port for your information and that of the General Assembly, and 
am adding a few comments on the year's work. 

Finances. 
The Legislature appropriated for the use of the Council for the 
year 1918 the sum of $25,000, out of which a back indebtedness of 
about $4,500 was paid, leaving for running expenses for the year 
about $20,500. The Legislature further empowered the Gover- 
nor to borrow $15,000 for the use of the Council, if needed. The 
Council took the position that it was the purpose of the Legisla- 
ture that we do not expend more than the original appropriation 
in our work, if it could possibly be avoided, and we have suc- 
ceeded in carrying through a very full program without exceding 
this amount, although an emergency appropriation of $2,000 has 
been made to aid the State Board of Llealth in the Influenza 
epidemic, and one of $1,000 to the Illiteracy Commission. Finan- 
cial aid has also been extended to the Boys' Working Reserve and 
to the Woman's Council. 

A ccomflishnients. 

I feel that the results which have been accomplished and which 
cannot be adequately set forth within the scope of an official re- 
port, have been very considerable and cannot be measured by the 
comparatively small amount of money which they have cost the 
State. No salaries at all were paid from Council funds except 
to our small office force, and a large part of the actual expenses 
of the members and County Chairmen in attending meetings and 
otherwise attending to the business of the Council was not asked 
for. 

Members and County Chairmen. 
The members of the Council have generally shown a whole- 
hearted response to all requests made upon them by the Chairman 
or the Executive Committee for service, and have discharged 



their duty in a highly intelligent and patriotic manner. The 
principle onus of the work, however, has rested upon our County 
Chairmen. Without the voluntary service of this splendid body 
of patriots, the Council could have accomplished comparatively 
little. They have given their time, thought and effort continu- 
ally and without stint in all the campaigns we have managed, 
and many of them have done so at great personal sacrifice. 

Executive Committee and Secretaries. 
Every member of our Executive Committee has at all times 
responded with alacrity to the requests of the Chairman and has 
supported him with absolute unanimity. A great deal of the 
time and thought of these men has been given to the work of the 
Council. The Executive Secretary and the Field Secretary hare 
handled their work with great tact, ability and interest, and the 
total lack of friction in the work of the Council has been due to 
their most efficient service and to that of the entire office force. 

Womaii's Worh. 
The AVoman's Division and the organizations affiliated Avith it 
have done much work of a high order not only in handling the 
special problems which they were organized to handle, but in all 
patriotic campaigns. The splendidly patriotic services of the 
whole personnel of the Woman's Division, and especially the un- 
tiring devotion to dutv of the executive staff, should be recog- 
nized in some substantial way. 

Common Purpose. 
From its very organization the entire membership of the 
Council and the County Chairmen have shown unanimity of pur- 
pose and willingness to work together for the common good that 
has been truly remarkable. Xo friction of any kind has at any 
time marred or hindered the work. 

Demobilization. 
At its meeting January 9th, the Council passed a resolution 
asking that it be demoblized February 1. This request was made 
because no program to warrant the continuance of the Council 
had been presented by National or State authorities, and because 
it was felt that a voluntary, unpaid organization of this nature 
could not function efficiently under peace conditions. 
* We call attention to the brilliant military service and heroic 
death of Mr. John S. Reynolds, who was a member of the Council 
until he volunteered for military duty. 



I wish to express to you and to the Legislature in behalf of 
myself and of the Council our thanks for the opportunity that 
has been afforded us of doing something for the State and Nation 
during the emergency of the great war, and also to express to 
you our appreciation for your cordial support and wise guidance. 
I am, sir. 

Your obedient servant, 

D. R. COKER, 
Chairman.

NATIONAL DEFENSE.

FIELD DIVISION 

or THE 

COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE 
Washington 

December 28, 1918. 
State Council of Defense, Union National Bank Building, 
Columbia, S. C. 

Gentlemen: Noav that the year 1918 is drawing to a close, it 
is a great pleasure to report to the South Carolina State Council 
of Defense on the high quality of the work which it has ac- 
complished during this year and the high stand it has taken 
among State Councils of Defense. 

As we pointed out in our letters at the end of the year 1917, 
South Carolina was then in the first rank of Councils of Defense 
and in 1918, as in 1917, South Carolina has maintained a high 
rank. It has been one of the leading Councils of the South, to 
whose organization and achievements the Council of National 
Defense has often pointed as a guide and inspiration to other 
Southern Councils. 

During the year 1918, the Council has done excellent work in 
extending and perfecting the organization on which it had then 
made so excellent a start. It has been prompt and thorough in 
carrying out the requests of the Council of National Defense and 
in addition, it has been markedly resourceful in devising the 
means of meeting local problems and putting these means into 
effective prosecution. The work of the State Council of South 



6 

Carolina in regard to public health is an example of this inde- 
pendent initiative and resourcefulness. Its health program has 
been vigorous and thoroughgoing and its work in regard to 
health has both proved that its vision that public health was a 
war emergency of the first magnitude was true, and that Councils 
of Defense were equipped to take a vital part in meeting the 
public health emergency. 

Similarly, in food production. South Carolina has advanced 
beyond the national leadership, both in the programs which it 
adopted and in the manner and extent to which it has lent its aid 
to the agents of the United States Department of Agriculture. 

These are but two examples of the ways in which the South 
Carolina State Council of Defense has merited distinction and 
rendered service to the nation and the State in work undertaken 
on its independent initiative, while at the same time it has main- 
tained a uniform high standard of execution of all the programs 
which the Council of National Defense put before it. 

I sincerely congi-atulate the South Carolina State Council of ' 
Defense upon its record during the past year. 

Verv truly vours, 
(Signed)'^GROSVENOE CLARKSON, 
Director of the Council and of the Field Division. 

THE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE.

charged with the "coordination of industries and resources for 
the national security and welfare," and with the "creation of re- 
lations which Avill render possible in the time of need the im- 
mediate concentration and utilization of the resources of the 
Nation." 

The Council of National Defense is composed as follows:

visory Commission is Grosvenor B. Clarkson. 

The work of the Advisory Commission is administered by 
seven distinct committees, Avith one of the commission members 
acting as chairman of each as indicated above. 

In addition to this system the following sections and boards 
of the Council may be considered as* of primary importance and 
are closely correlated with the general committees, whose chair-

THE STATE COUNCILS. 

Soon after being formed, the National Council realized the 
need of close organic contact with each of the States. There 
arose, therefore, the movement for the creation of a State Coun- 
cil in every State in the Union, A special section of the National 
Council, known as the State Councils Section, was formed and 
put in charge of encouraging and coordinating the State Coun- 
cils. At present there are forty-eight State Councils in active 
operation. 

The functions of the State Council are manifold and elastic. 
The chief of these are seven : 

1. To be responsible for civilian morale; to give the people of 
the State that fulness of honest information which will enable 
them not only to understand the great issues of the war, but to 
convert understanding and enthusiasm into intelligent action. 

2. To initiate on their own motion solutions to meet the econo- 
mic, agricultural, industrial, educational, sanitary and social 
emergencies of their State. 

3. To assist instantly and freely in carrying out the policies of 
the Department of Agriculture, the Food Administration, the 
Fuel Administration, the Labor Department, the Shipping 
Board, and all Federal agencies which are extended into the 
States. 

4. To reinforce the efforts of the gi'eat national humane and 
financial appeals, such as the Liberty Loan, War Savings Stamps, 
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and others. 

5. To coordinate and direct all war organizations and activ- 
ities operating intrastate especially to investigate all organiza- 
tions appealing to the public for funds. 

6. To serve as active organized bodies ready at the call of the 
Governor and all regular State departments. 

7. To act as the authorized agent of the Council of National 
Defense in carrying its propaganda and wishes to the people. 

THE SOUTH CAROLINA COUNCIL. 

The South Carolina Council of Defense was organized in June, 
1J)17, at the call of Governor Manning, who acted at the request 
of the National Council. At present the State Council has the

COUNTY COUNCILS. 

Just as the National Council felt the need for State Councils, 
so in turn the State Councils have found necessary the aid and 
cooperation of County Councils. South Carolina's organization 
in this respect, though not as yet perfect, is said to be unexcelled 
b}^ any other State. There is a county chairman in each county 
with township committees radiating into the school districts of 
most of the counties. This gives an organization of between two 
and three thousand patriotic workers ready to ansAver instantly 
any call for service. The ranking that the South Carolina 
organization has received in Washington in comparasion with 
the other States is most gratifying — ahead of forty-two and be- 
hind none.

REPORT OF THE FIELD SECRETARY. 

Mr. D. R. Col^er^ Charnnan, 

Dr. Reed Smith, Executive Secretary. 

January 7, 1919. 
Gentlemen: Since becoming Field Secretary of the State 
Council of Defense, March 5th, 1918, my chief function has been 



14 

that of a connectino; link betAveen the State and Countv orffani- 
zations. It has been incumbent upon me to be fully informed of 
all the activities and policies of the State Council of Defense as 
well as the Council of National Defense, in order to reliably pre- 
sent the same to the public. 

In keeping up the County organizations it has been my privi- 
lege to visit many of the Counties and come in personal contact 
with a great many of our leading men, and I am pleased to state 
that we have an active chairman in every County with one or 
two exceptions. One of the chief functions of the Field Secre- 
tary has been to assist in the various patriotic campaigns 
throughout the State, such as the Liberty Loan, Red Cross, 
United War Work and now for the relief of the Armenians and 
Syrians, In this connection I have attended many conferences 
and made many addresses throughout South Carolina. In ad- 
dition to these duties we have handled the confidential references 
for the Bureau of Personnel of the American Red Cross on the 
applications of parties for over-seas duty. 

I wish to express my great appreciation of the confidence re- 
posed in me by the appointment to this office, thus giving me an 
opportunity to render a little service to my country in this great 
crisis. As a back-ground of all of my service I have endeavored 
to keep in mind the importance of inspiring high and unselfish 
patriotism as the basis of all the activities. I vicAved the Coun- 
cil of Defense as the one particular organization whose duty it 
was to keep up a strong civilian morale throughout South Caro- 
lina, an-;^, I have every reason to believe that the most important 
work done by this organization was of an indefinable nature, it 
being our duty to inspire courage and confidence as well as to 
warn the people of serious situations. It hns been a great 
pleasure to me to have been associated Avith the Executive officers 
and all of the members of the South Carolina Council of Defense, 
and in closing my work I bid them a hearty God- Speed. 

(Signed) HUGH R. MURCHISON, 

Field Secretary.

Division. The Woman's Division has worked in perfect har- 
mony with the State Council. 



10 

An jippropriation of $250.00 per nionth Avas made for the 
maintenance of Headquarters; later this appropriation was in- 
creased to $300.00 and an appropriation of $175.00 per month 
for a period of three months for the salary and traveling 
expenses of a Field Secretary. 

Mrs. Howard Caldwell, of Columbia, was appointed to this 
position and assumed the responsibilities of said office last 
August. Our splendid organization is largely the result of her 
work in building up and strengthening the units throughout 
the State. 

The organization of ne^ro units throughout the State has been 
largely perfected ; the colored women have rendered valuable 
assistance in every canvass for Red Cross funds, Liberty Loan 
Bonds.War Savings Stamps, United War Work and rendered a 
valuable assistance in nursing during the recent epidemic of 
influenza. 

In the epidemic of Spanish Influenza which swept the 
Southern States in the fall of 1918, it was estimated that about 
87,415 persons suffered from this disease in South Carolina, over 
which the civilian health authorities had no control becau-e of 
inadequate health organizations. The Avomen of every county 
volunteered their ser^dces in various ways: some nursing and 
others prej^aring diet for the suffering. Diet kitchens were 
opened from which nourishing food was carried by the Red Cross 
Motor Corps to the different hospitals and homes. 

Lunches Avere served each day to the convalescent S. A. T. C. 
at the University of South Carolina. 

The Associated Charities had about 150 families to look after. 
Soup Avas donated to the families Avhere the mother Avas not able 
to prepare food for the children. 

Valuable Avork Avas done by the Red Cross Influenza Committee. 
Besides making deliveries of food to the sufferers in the city each 
day they sent out 10 gallons of soup, 1 dozen loaves of bread and 
six or seven quarts of milk to the Rescue Orphanage CA^ery day 
where there Avas quite a good deal of sickness. 

Women from every walk of life rendered valuable services. 
The schools being closed the teachers A'oluntecred as nurses. 
Business girls offered their services in the eA-ening. 

The colored Avomen of the State did magnificent Avork in re- 
lieving the situation. 

A complete survey of the State for reports of the services 
rendered by both Avhite and colored Avomen is being made by the 



17 

Executive Secretary and will be published in pamphlet fonn and 
mailed to the members of the Council. 

Cam'paign For Funds. 

During the past quarter in the campaigns for funds to finance 
the War Department of the Government team-work of the 
women has been magnificent. In the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive 
the Women's Committee raised 30%%of total amount subscribed 
and 53%% of subscriptions in the Slate. Amount subscribed to 
by women alone was $42,420. Amount of subscriptions secured 
by women's teams $20,28G.^nO. 

In the United War Work Campaign, the woman's team raised 
$44,808.44. This was not a fair showing for the women's work 
as unfortunately in many of the counties the men's and women's 
subscriptions were not recorded separately. IMrs. W. D. IMelton, 
Chairman for Richland County, reported $24,741.02 for the 
women. 

The record of War Savings Stamps sold by the women has 
not been kept separately from the men's in the counties, but in 
Anderson thev attribute the vrinning of the flag to the women's 
work. Cherokee County also gives the women credit for their 
success as likeAvise Charleston and Eichland. 

In the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call the women of the Division 
made a house to house canvass doubling the membership in the 
cities and quadrupling it in Richland County. 

Conservation. 

Throughout the State the women have been cooperating with 
Food Administration in conserving and producing food; also 
cooperating with the Fuel Administrator in saving coal. In co- 
operation with the Children's Bureau, Department of Labor, 
Washington, D. C, the County Child-Welfare Chairmen have 
been engaged in the v^eighing and measuring tests and Birth 
Registration of children, which Avas the first drive in the Chil- 
dren's Year program for the conservation of Child Life. The 
progress of this work was retarded by the terrible epidemic of 
influenza. 

In a Nation-wide campaign to enlist recruits for the Student 
Nurse Reserve the County Chairmen were very active, cooper- 
ating with the State Nurses' Association. A detailed report of 
the work was submitted to National Headquarters on August 
22nd. 



18 

News Dejyartment. 

In spreading information about the War Work of the Woman's 
Division we have served the various departments through the 
daily papers of the State. Six dailies have given double columns 
in their Sunday editions in which the news from the 45 counties 
was published. Bulletins received from Washington were re- 
leased immediately upon receipt. We had on our staff 30 pub- 
licity chairmen who have furnished headquarters with reports 
of their activities at least twice a week and securing space in the 
County papers for work as outlined by the National Headquar- 
ters.- The press of the State has been most generous in allowing 
space for the Educational propaganda which has meant more to 
us than anything else for the winning of this world war. 

The Executive Committee in session, 'November 25th, 1918, 
recommended that the Woman's Division concentrate their efforts 
in the future on a program of peace along the lines of Public 
Health, Child Conservation, Compulsory Education, cooperation 
with the State Board of Health to prevent the loss of Child life 
through ignorance, working for 100% Birth Registration, urging 
the appointment in each county of Public Health Nurses and in 
close co-operation with the Illiteracy Commission to free South 
Carolina from the bonds of ignorance,

REPORT OF S. H. EDMUNDS, FEDERAL STATE DIRECTOR 
OF U. S. BOYS' WORKING RESERVE. 

Sumter, S. C, January 9, 1919. 
To the Ilonorahle, The State Council of Defense^ Colu7nhia, S. C. 
Gentlemen : Last March I was requested by the State Council 
of Defense to assume the State Directorship of the United States 
Boys' Working Reserve for South Carolina. While I was quite 
willing to do everything in my power to help our country in its 
time of direst need, I realized that I am a public servant and as 
such must at all times do my full duty to the best of my ability 
to the ]uib]ic cause which I have the honor to serve. To this end, 
I notified the State Council of Defense that I should be glad to 
assume this Directorship if I could be given a secretary who by 
doing the clerical work of the office and by assisting me with 
other clerical work would enable me to perform the duties of the 
State Director without detriment to the Public School Svstem 



19 

of Sumter. This request was complied with and an appropria- 
tion of one hundred dollars per'month for three m.onths was made 
by the State Council of Defense. This amount was subsequently 
renewed for six months. Very little more than one half of this 
appropriation has been used by our office, for, with the exception 
of twelve dollars and eighty cents ($12.80), the State Council 
was not called upon for any money except the payment of the 
salary of our secretary, Miss S. H. Rembert, of Sumter. 

The United States Boys' Working Reserve has an organization 
in every State in the Union, in the District of Columbia and in 
the territory of Hawaii. At the National Conference which I 
attended in September, forty-four States were represented. 

The authorities at Washington believe that the necessity for 
food production is greater than it has ever been in the history of 
the world, and they believe also that in meeting the demands for 
this increased production, the United States Boys' Working 
Reserve will be an essential factor. 

In our own work in South Carolina we have had much work to 
do along the lines of education and enlightenment. There were 
two great difficulties in our wav. The first was a belief that the 
Boys' Reserve would interfere with a boy's freedom to work 
upon his father's farm. We have had difficulty in impressing 
upon the fathers and the boys the fact that no boy would be trans- 
ferred from his father's farm without his father's expressed 
desire. The second difficulty was a belief that the Reserve desired 
to curtail the boys' educational opportunities. We have suc- 
ceeded, we believe, in letting it be known that instead of pre- 
venting in any way a boy's education, the desire of the Reserve is 
to promote it in every way. 

Some of our County Directors and Enrolling Officers have 
done splendid work and we should like very much to mention 
these by name in this report. We have reserved this, however, 
for our final report when it will give us peculiar pleasure to 
give prominence to the names of those who deserve honorable 
mention on account of their efficiency and fidelity. Mr. R. E. 
Grier, of The State, as State Publicity Director, has been actively 
cooperative. I vrish officially to commend him. 

Governor R. I. Manning has issued a proclamation for the 
observance of National Enrollment Week in South Carolina and 
we should enroll hundreds of boys during this week. We should 
show the other States of the American Union that in this con- 



20 

structive work in behalf of our country and in behalf of the 
world, our beloved State is not behind. To this end, we will send 
commissions or official requests to everj' High School principal 
of this State. We wish every boy fifteen and a half years of age 
to be enrolled. 

One of the many benefits that will accrue to the members of 
this organization is that fact that membership will entitle them 
(o the use of the Farm Craft Lessons that should prove exceed- 
ingly valuable not only in farm work, but also in school work. 
These lessons were edited by Dr. Davenport, the Dean of the 
Agricultural School of the University of Illinois. We have been 
very busy lately preparing them for shipment from our office in 
Sumter to the different schools in our State. 

We believe that all boys Avho join this organization will be 
greatly benefited not only because of the valuable experience 
that they will receive; not only because of the consciousness of 
service rendered to our country at a time when such service was 
needed most; but also because of the lasting blessing that must 
come from the cultivation of a broad planetary patriotism that 
will enable them trul}^ to realize the full importance of President 
Wilson"'s statement: "We are dining at a common table in a 
common caus^." 

It is because we are thoroughly convinced of the genuine bless- 
ing that must result from our organization that it has at all 
times given us real pleasure to render any service within our 
power. 

Respectfully and cordially submitted, 

(Signed) S. H. EDMUNDS, 
Federal-State Director for S. C. 

ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS. 

December 31st, 1918. 
The primary task of the State Council of Defense was one of 
organization. There is a county chairman in each county at the 
head of the work, Avith subordinate committees in most counties 
radiating through the townships and school districts. Between 
2,000 and 3.000 men were available throughout the State for any 
work that the National Council or the State Council wished to 
do. The organization has been live, active and energetic in 
nearly every county. Comparison with the methods of organi- 
zation of other States on file at the Council of National Defense 



21 



in Washington shows the South Carolina organization to have 
been as complete as any in the country and efficient to a high 

degree. 

* * * 

An idea of the general scope of the routine duties of the Coun- 
cil may be gained by naming over the leading committees. These 
committees are as follows: Executive and finance, publicity, 
military matters, production and conservation of foodstufTs, in- 
dustries, transportation, cooperation of activities of patriotic 
organizations, research and education, coo]:)eration with negro 
organizations, audit, medicine and sanitation, legislation, voca- 
tional education, and reconstruction and readjustment after the 

war. 

* * * 

The Council has all along felt that the negro population of 
the State should by no means be neglected in the different move- 
ments inaugurated for the improvement of South Carolina's con- 
ditions. In connection with the white committees and white 
county councils there is being built up an effective negro organi- 
zation which Avill be responsible for the spread of information 

and suggestions among the negroes of the State. 

* * * 

The ncAvspapers have shown a fine spirit of cooperation and 
are regularly printing whatever publicity items the State Coun- 
cil sends out on the various subjects connected with the National 
and State Council activities. 

^ ^ *> 

Work among the women of South Carolina hns been continued 
with Mrs. J. Otey Reed as chairman and Mrs. W. C. Cathcart as 
executive secretary. This organization is known as the Woman's 
Council of Defense of South Carolina. Mrs. Eeed has been 
aj^pointed a member of the State Council and thus the two 
organizations are united in close and intelligent cooperation. 

The State Council is bearing the expenses of this work. 

* * * 

The important work of the production and conservation of 
foodstufis has been efficiently handled by a committee of which 
Mr. Bright Williamson is chairman and Dr. W. W. Long of the 
extension department of Clemson College and Mr. A. C. Phelps, 
of Sumter, are members, with which committee Chairman Coker 



22 

has constantly cooperated. Many important recommendations 
and suggestions have been given wide publicity by this committee. 

* * * 

As the regularly authorized South Carolina agency for carry- 
ing- out the wishes and instructions of the Council of National 
Defense, the State Council of Defense took either a leading or an 
auxiliary part in all of the great National and State w^ar move- 
ments and war causes. In addition to this, it initiated on its own 
motion many movements affecting the social, civic and economic 
welfare of the State. A detailed description of the activities of 
the Council for the last twelve months is impossible therefore, 
owing to the multiplicity and variety of the undertaking? en- 
gaged in. The following, however, comprise a list of its activi- 
ties and achievements:

NON-WAR CONSTRUCTION. 

On September 15th, the Council of National Defense, actuated 
by the Country's urgent need of man power and material, cre- 
ated a section known as the Non-War Construction Committee 
and imposed upon it the responsibility of restricting all man- 
ner of building construction throughout the country which did 



27 

not pertain directly to the winning of the war or was not abso- 
lutely essential to public welfare. 

The Council was instructed to create a state committee as well 
as a subordinate body in each county and assume immediate 
authority over all activities of this nature. The Federal Gov- 
ernment having control of all structural materials, issued in- 
structions and rules relative to contemplated building projects. 
Buildings already begun, where a substantial part had been con- 
structed, were, if the circumstances warranted, granted permits 
to finish, but applications for all other buildings excepting such 
as were intended for agricultural purposes or food production 
were denied and a great many public buildings and other con- 
struction work for which there was not an immediate necessity 
were ordered discontinued until after the period of the war. 
This was one of the most important tasks devolving upon the 
Council. It must be said to the enduring credit of the people 
of South Carolina that, almost without exception, the decisions 
of the committee were accepted without protest although in a 
great many instances the applicant was subjected to severe finan- 
cial sacrifice. A total of 200 projects were examined into with the 
result that 85 requests totaling $700,000 were refused by the War 
Industries Board. 

All restrictions were withdrawn very shortly after the arm- 
istice was signed and building activities encouraged in order to 
give employment to soldiers about to be released from military 
service.

FINANCIAL REPORT. 

The Act creating the State Council of Defense carried an 
appropriation of $25,000, with authorization to borrow upon the 
credit of the State the sum of $15,000 additional through the 
Governor, if necessary. Of this sum, by special legislative pro- 
vision $4,600 was applied to the expenses incurred by the Coun- 
cil during the latter part of 1917, before the Legislature met. 
This left $20,500 available for 1918. 

By the terms of the Act, the expenses of the members in 
attendance on the regular meetings of the Council and special 
committee meetings were authorized. 

The Council voted $20 a month to each countj^ chairmnn for 
paying the expenses of the county organizations. Five dollars 
a month was voted to each county chairman of the Woman's 
Division for paying the expenses of her county organization. 

One hundred dollars a month beginning with March 26th, 
was voted to the U. S. Boys' Working Reserve for establishing 
and carrying on the activities of this organization. Of this 
appropriation $75 a month only was utilized. 



29 



One thousand dollars was voted by the Council to initiate the 
activities of the Illiteracy Commission. 

On special request of Dr. James A. Hayne, an emergency 
appropriation of $2,000 was voted for use in the influenza 
epidemic. 

In April, $250 a month was voted to establish and carry on 
the office expenses and the salary of the Executive Secretary for 
the Woman's Division. This amount was raised to $300 per 
month in October. 

Salary $100 and traveling expenses up to $75 per month for a 
field secretary for the Woman's Division was authorized at the 
October meeting. 

For carrying out the State-wide health campaign beginning 
August 1st, 1918, the sum of $5,000 was voted by the Council.
